Uchiha Akaishi Tour

"I love and admire my father the most, and I hope to become like him. I hate... those Uchiha!" Namiashi Raito said at the end of the self-introduction session within the team, and he spoke the truth.

Kakashi glanced over silently.

Well, "father worship" is one of Kakashi's trigger points—he used to be like that too, but now...

Kakashi couldn't say for sure whether he admired his father the most, hated him the most, or... maybe both?

Therefore, when he spoke just now, everything was "secret".

Minato seemed to have seen through something at the time and didn't force him.

Yamashiro Aoba looked at Namiashi Raido in surprise, realizing that his teammate was even braver than he had imagined!

Not only did he say he admired his father in front of Kakashi, but he also said he hated the Uchiha clan in front of Minato-sensei...

Are you having trouble getting along with your teammates?

Such a lack of emotional intelligence...

Have you been bullied by the Uchiha clan for so long that your mind has become Uchiha-like?

"I see..." Minato smiled at this moment. "I can understand admiring your father, and Namiashi-senpai is indeed a ninja worth learning from, but... it doesn't mean you have to hate all Uchiha ninjas."

"I...didn't mention that Konoha Red Stone either." It seemed that only then did Namiashi Raido realize that Minato's teammate was also an Uchiha.

Yamashiro Aoba: ...

Still so rude? He's definitely caught the Uchiha curse...

"It's alright. Your teacher hopes that you will use your own eyes to verify whether each Uchiha is truly trustworthy in the future." Minato patted him on the shoulder.

"Do you know what's most important after becoming a ninja?" Minato turned to the three and asked.

"Mission." Kakashi blurted out naturally.

"Is that so..." Minato didn't deny it immediately, but his expression clearly showed his disapproval. He then said seriously, "Our teacher had a teammate who, when your teacher's teacher said that 'the most important thing for a ninja is the mission,' immediately retorted, 'The ninja village was established to protect everyone, so the most important thing for a ninja is to protect every comrade in the village!'"

"Could it be..." Namiashi Raido stared at Minato in shock.

"That's right, it was Konoha's Akaishi who said it." Minato's warm smile made it impossible for anyone to realize that he had actually omitted many preconditions.

Kakashi was taken aback by these words, seemingly not expecting an Uchiha to say such a thing...

……

Meanwhile, Akaishi, who was being regarded as a positive role model in the Water Gate, was having a private conversation with Ranmai and Tsunade in a private room at the Matsushiro restaurant.

"I knew Jiraiya-sensei would come, right? Minato just told him that Tsunade needed his help, and he applied for a mission to the Land of Earth..." Akaishi said confidently.

:

Not long ago, Minato secretly conveyed the "Wood Release experiment" to Jiraiya through the summoning jutsu of Mount Myōboku.

Not long after, Jiraiya asked the Hokage Tower for permission to fight—he had been training Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan for almost three years.

Although the Land of Rain is still plagued by frequent unrest, the three children, who can already be called "ninjas," should be able to survive independently.

So Jiraiya applied to go to the front lines...

At the same time, Akaishi also received a mission—to go to the western border of the Land of Rice Fields to meet Jiraiya, and then travel together to the Land of Earth!

Previously, at the Jonin meeting, Konoha's attitude towards Iwagakure had already been set.

With Orochimaru's explanation, Hokage-ro also came to the realization that "Iwagakure had no sincerity in negotiating peace."

What Konoha needs to do now is to "play along" with Iwagakure, keeping themselves in a precarious position while preparing to deliver a swift and decisive blow!

Even if it's not enough to inflict heavy losses on Iwagakure, it should hurt them enough to make them more willing to negotiate peace.

In Orochimaru's opinion, this wasn't difficult at all...

After all, his "two-scaled" personality has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that he is indeed very good at maintaining balance, which keeps Iwagakure in a diplomatic advantageous position. This makes the ninja villages he wants to ally with happy to accept him. This allows him to launch continuous attacks without the risk of being ganged up on, while also maintaining the balance of power among the great ninja villages. However, the disadvantage is that this ambivalent personality makes him lack resilience when facing real difficulties and he will also rely on diplomatic means to solve problems.

To put it simply, there's no need to worry that Iwagakure will be as tough to deal with as Sunagakure!

As long as Konoha pushes the battle lines forward even slightly, Iwagakure will immediately hold a meeting to negotiate—because Onoki can't get any other powerful allies to gang up on Konoha right now, and under these circumstances, he would never expect to "take the damage" on his own.

Therefore, the methods used against Iwagakure are the opposite of those used against Sunagakure.

Back then, on the battlefield against Sunagakure, both Sakumo and Orochimaru chose to proceed cautiously and steadily, generally relying on Konoha's strength to minimize their own losses through attrition warfare...

However, if it were Iwagakure, Orochimaru's goal would be to "achieve his goal in one fell swoop" and make sure to hurt them badly in one go.

As the "class leader of the Jonin," Orochimaru was already planning to concentrate elite forces in the Land of Earth. In ninja wars, this tactic of "concentrating elite forces" is often very effective and easy to execute because it only requires gathering a small group of individuals to "concentrate elite forces."

Jiraiya was one of them, Akaishi was one of them... and even Ranmai received a secret transfer order.

"Orochimaru..." Tsunade gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction.

Tsunade was not in this plan!

She was assigned to the back.

"Compared to Tsunade, Lanwu and I aren't that noticeable, and Jiraiya-sensei has been 'missing' for almost three years, so no one would have noticed," Akaishi explained on behalf of Orochimaru.

As the leader of the medical unit, Tsunade is quite conspicuous when she moves...

Once the Iwa ninja discover that Tsunade is no longer in the village or in the rear, they will likely realize that Konoha is concentrating its forces on the front lines.

As for the Red Stone...

:

Although he was very good at fighting, in the eyes of the Iwa ninja, the Konoha ninja were much better at fighting than him!

Moreover, Akaishi doesn't have much to do in the village, so it's not easy for him to be discovered, unlike Tsunade... If she doesn't go to treat the wounded and sick in the village for several days in a row, she will be discovered very quickly.

"But that Shimura Danzo..." Tsunade gritted her teeth—clearly, it wasn't her desire to fight that was rising, but rather a simple urge to get rid of Danzo.

"The Mori no Machi has been working hard to help Nono establish an orphanage and implement its functions. In addition, the Uchiha's inspection and surveillance on the front line are becoming more and more detailed... I believe Danzo may take risks at any time. It's just right for you to be in Konoha to keep watch, Tsunade-neechan," Akaishi reassured him.

"You mean... he might still be looking for children to experiment on inside?" Tsunade frowned deeply upon hearing this, somewhat incredulous.

"It's hard to say. Our Konoha is so strong that we can't be defeated from the outside. What we need to be careful of are these traitors within our ranks!" Akaishi said confidently.

Tsunade also became concerned upon hearing this.

"Furthermore... I think Orochimaru might want to take advantage of Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique," Akaishi further speculated.

Minato's "Flying Thunder God Technique" can bring people with it.

Although the more people he brings and the stronger their chakra, the stronger the constraints he faces, and for a period of time, Minato also has to consume chakra to maintain the spatial position of the people he "brings," much like a "summoning jutsu," just think about it: Minato doesn't need many people. As long as he can teleport Orochimaru and Tsunade directly from Konoha to the battlefield, it would be a game-changer for the outcome of the war!

"Novel Website" Hand-typed Update

However, Minato isn't omnipotent, and it would be quite difficult for him to lead even more people on his own.

Therefore, Akaishi and the others still had to go and gather on their own.

On the night of March 15th, Akaishi and Lanwu quietly set off, taking advantage of the darkness to leave Konoha wearing cloaks and using a special confidential warrant.

first……

Chishi and Lanwu arrived at the End Valley overnight to meet with Maitreya!

Miroku was only a visitor to Konoha, so he left Konoha a day early, waiting for the time he had agreed to meet with Akaishi.

"Miroku, are you also going to the Land of Earth?" Lanwu looked at her strangely.

"Well, but... unless it's an extremely urgent situation, I won't intervene," Miroku said matter-of-factly.

After all, she wasn't a Konoha ninja, so there was no need for her to work for free. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a problem for Iwagakure, but the Land of Wind's attitude towards the Land of Demons would also be completely different.

It should be noted that after the incident with the demons, the Land of Wind had already ceded a portion of its relatively easy-to-develop swampy territory to the Land of Demons!

If the Land of Wind were to completely accept that the Land of Demons is a vassal of the Land of Fire, or even Konoha, the Land of Wind's attitude would be entirely different.

Of course, if there is a truly urgent situation, Maitreya wouldn't have time to worry about that.

The three set off under the cover of night. Although only Akaishi was an Uchiha, they still traveled through the night and arrived in the Land of Rice Fields in two days. They reached the location where they would meet up with Jiraiya in four days.

Although Miroku's stamina is still a weakness, Lanwu's stamina makes up for it very well...

:

At first, Lan Wu even suspected that the reason why Chi Shi kept urging them to hurry was because he wanted to carry Mi Le when he was exhausted. But before Lan Wu could even take the initiative, Chi Shi took the initiative to assign the task to "team member Lan Wu"!

Upon arriving at the western border of the Land of Fields, the Land of Wind is only separated from it by mountains—yes, the very mountain range remotely controlled by Kannabi Bridge. Theoretically, the mountains between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain in the central part of the continent are the same mountain range, except that this mountain range extends all the way to the northern part of the continent…

This continuous mountain range is also a natural barrier for the Land of Earth, and the Land of Earth has indeed made great efforts to manage it.

Because of the sealing technique, ninjas cannot carry too many sealing scrolls while traversing mountains, which means their supplies are restricted. That's why the Kannabi Bridge is so important; it's as if the Kannabi Bridge controls the supply rights of the surrounding area!

However, as an elite squad, even without much supplies, Akaishi was able to traverse these mountains.

Orochimaru specifically instructed them to enter the Land of Earth from the Land of Rice Fields, a direction that Iwagakure had relatively little attention on, in order to put the greatest pressure on Iwagakure when the conflict erupted!
